“Rumour has it that the Room 1, on the first floor is the best.” (Felix-Mad-Dog)

Feb 22, 2015

“The first floor double and the larger double on the 2nd floor are lovely rooms with great views. There is another double on the 2nd floor with sea views but it looked to be much smaller.” (575jackieh)

Feb 20, 2015

“We took the best room in the house, Room number one, a bit more expensive but big and beautiful. A double bed and a single bed, small sofa, armchair and TV; not that we watched it as we were too busy looking at the sea or the lights on the pier.” (589charlotteb)

We stayed for 2 nights and enjoyed the sea views, and a lovely sunrise over the sea. This was what we were expecting. A typical bed and breakfast with a lovely outgoing host and her daughter. The room we had was a good size and the ensuite just right. The bed was comfortable, and the TV available if you wanted...

We stayed here for 2 nights with our daughter and her boyfriend over Valentines weekend. It was her 30th birthday and we were travelling on to a lodge with a hot tub near Hadleigh on the Monday so wanted to spend a couple of nights in Southwold prior to this. We had the first floor large room which had a...

We loved the seafront view and our good-humored hostesses. A special Valentine's weekend, away from the city. We also discovered Southwold, ate fresh fish in the harbour and walked through the marsh. We'll be back!

I was looking at stopping for a night and this was the first place I tried after the Tourist Information was unable to help. They had a few places they could try but the prices were likely to be high than I wanted to pay.
I was welcomed by two staff who checked room availability and advised of me of...

Can't commend this B&B highly enough. It was well maintained, clean and comfortable. The owner had no issues with us arriving at 9pm and was charming and attentive throughout our stay. It was more like staying with a friend than at a Bed and Breakfast. Thank you so much We will be back and will recommend to anyone who is...

We have just spent 2 days at Amber House, it was in a delightful location overlooking the sea. Our mother and daughter hosts were so friendly and provided a wonderful English breakfast, they were always interested in our welfare and pointed us in the right direction for evening meals. Try it out, you will not be disappointed.

Right on the sea front with great views - luckily we had a front facing room. Di and Lou make everyone very welcome and Di cooks up a great breakfast. Amber House was very clean, it was great being able to use the lounge to chill out, after a hard days crabbing at Walberswick, and play games or build our...

This is a very friendly guest house overlooking the beach.
Di and her daughter make everyone very welcome.
They are very knowledgeable about the area and are able to provide information on where to go.
The rooms and breakfasts are good, I had kippers and smoked salmon with scrambled eggs.
We are already thinking on when we can come back...

Stayed here for 2 nights in August, a family party of all ages who all enjoyed their stay and would be keen to visit again. The rooms were beautifully decorated and extremely clean and well presented. The hosts gave us a warm welcome and were very helpful and friendly. The breakfast had a good variety and was delicious. Would definitely...
